saying donald trump's strategy of putting america first could make it very tricky to get a deal that benefits both the us and the uk. you're making a trade deal with someone who says he doesn't believe in trade so i'm not quite sure how that's going to play out over the next few years. these will have real world economic consequences. they will have an impact on people's incomes. donald trump, of course sees it very differently. he has talked already about a new chapter for stronger trade between the uk and the us and a big and exciting trade deal that he hopes the two countries can strike. talks cannot formally begin on that though until britain has left the european union in march 2019. john tharngs thank you. and you can see that full interview with hillary clinton tomorrow at 9am on bbc one's andrew marr show. as we've been hearing this morning, the organisers of the oscars are set to hold emergency talks later to discuss claims of sexual misconduct against the film producer harvey weinstein. since news of the scandal broke a little over a week ago, more and more people have been

our north america editorjon sopel has been following the story from washington. this is one of the worst deals ever made by any country in history. my number one priority is to dismantle the disastrous deal with iran. there should be no surprise the president is doing what he is doing. he made clear his distaste for the iran nuclear deal at every opportunity. but finding a simple remedy has proved difficult, so today he refused to recertify it. i am directing my administration to work closely with congress and our allies to address the deal‘s many serious flaws, so the iranian regime can never threaten the world with nuclear weapons. in the event we are not able to reach a solution working with congress and our allies, then the agreement will be terminated. so what are president trump's aims? he wants congress to adopt tough new measures to redefine the agreement. he wants them to include triggers that could see sanctions imposed if iran violates the deal. and if iran is still not in compliance, the us could withdraw from the accord without congressional action
